The Gardens of Deer Creek Inn

The Garden Virtual Tour

 

Deer Creek Inn is situated at the bottom of Broad Street in the town of Nevada City. The inn sits majestically high above the gardens appointed with stone benches, comfortable chairs, a two-person hammock, and a fountain.

Deer Creek Inn is bordered by two beautiful and historical creeks, Deer Creek and Manzanita Creek. They were the center of gold panning and the mining town in the early 1850’s. Now it is considerably quieter. At night our guests can enjoy the golden and silver lights that filter through the trees and reflect on Deer Creek.

Encompassing almost one full acre, the gardens sit among hundred-year-old cedars, maples and various other trees. The plush grounds are accented by a one hundred foot cherry tree, the largest in the county.

 

 

In spring, its white blossoms fall to the ground like snow, before bringing forth fruit. Roses and cutting flowers are in abundance in the tiered gardens and sprout new life as each season changes.

The rose covered trellises and arbors provide a comfortable shade while watching Deer Creek skip merrily by reminding us of things past and beautiful.

 

 

 

In the summer, the flowers continue to bloom and the trees provide the both shade and sunny escape. Private chairs and tables situated along this crystal creek can add to your pleasure, or just relax in our hammock. In the fall, the red and yellow colors are scattered throughout the grounds and along the creek. The garden quiets down during winter and can occasionally wear a soft white blanket of snow bringing a special magic to the inn.

Whatever the season, Ken will continue his efforts to make the Deer Creek Inn garden a true "escape" for those seeking serenity in her pathways and hidden corners. You can always find him puttering around the garden while his faithful companions, Spot, his deaf Dalmatian, and Ty, his Alaskan Malamute, frolic in the cool waters of the creek.

Come, relax, unwind ....
